Vé di động
Discover Hiroshima through a personal storytelling walk led by a local guide who has lived here for over 20 years. This tour focuses on context, lived experience, and the small details that bring the city’s history and present-day life together.
We begin at either Shukkeien Garden or Peace Memorial Park, depending on your preference, and walk through Hiroshima Castle and Gokoku Shrine to understand the city before 1945. As we follow the Peace Line into the park, I share stories and perspectives that many visitors miss.
We continue to the A-Bomb Dome and, if you wish, the Peace Memorial Museum. The pace is relaxed, with time for questions and reflection. This is not a rushed sightseeing tour, but a thoughtful introduction to Hiroshima’s past and present.

Amazing Tour! Highly Recommend!

5.00Alex was an outstanding tour guide during our 4-hour walking tour of Hiroshima. He struck the perfect balance between being informative and engaging, sharing not just historical facts but meaningful context that really brought the city’s story to life. What stood out most was his depth of knowledge about Hiroshima’s history and his ability to explain complex and emotional topics in a thoughtful, respectful way. He also kept the pace comfortable and made sure we felt included, answering questions with patience and insight. Beyond the history, Alex pointed out small details and local spots we would have completely missed on our own, which made the experience feel much more personal. By the end of the tour, we felt like we had a much deeper understanding of Hiroshima, not just as a historical site, but as a vibrant, resilient city. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone visiting Hiroshima, this tour was easily one of the highlights of our trip.

5.00Our guide Alex was great! He communicated with me well in advance of the tour date and throughout. He met us right at the train station and walked us from there. Also - he was flexible / accommodating with our schedule and interests. Hiroshima experience was better than I thought it would be. Peace Park and the museum are top notch! We learned a lot!

5.00We visited Hiroshims in Jan 2026, we arranged a guided tour, Alex was our guide. The tour was super interesting... Alex guided us through beautiful garden, memorial snd a small museum of the beaten track. Alex was engaging and made the whole experience very enjoyable for all of us (me, my wife, in our 50's, daughter 23, son 24). The tour finished at the peace museum, which we had visited the previous day.

Engaging, Thoughtful and Rewarding

5.00Alex provided a wonderful experience on this tour. He shared his detailed knowledge of Hiroshima and its history and each of the locations we visited in a straightforward, approachable, and easily understood way. He also provided deeper and valuable insights from multiple perspectives as a resident, community member, and parent of a young family living close by to many of the places on the tour. Besides the listed tour locations, we visited other places significant to the story of Hiroshima's rebuilding after WWII, and we greatly appreciated the additional depth this provided to our experience. Even our lunchtime meal of local cuisine held interesting insights and cultural lessons, wonderfully explained by Alex. I think this tour was the perfect introduction for our first visit to the city, and I can easily recommend it to other visitors looking for an engaging and thoughtful experience in Hiroshima.
Hiroshima history and stories- not to be missed on a visit to Japan

5.00Alex is an experienced guide who lives in Hiroshima and thus knows the area well. His English is perfect and easy to understand, something not to take for granted in Japan. We spent four hours with him at all the major sites of The Peace Park and its surroundings and git a good feeling for the area and stories surrounding it. I highly recommend that you hire him to enhance your understanding of what happened in Japan at the close of WW2.
